Description
Each image in the table above shows a fixed set of variables from the forecast at different resolutions (rows).  The specific data shown are for potential use for aviation applications.  The visualizations show properties of forecasted clouds, visibility and winds.  As you go to higher resolution (going down the page), you will see greater detail for the New York City area.

Instructions
By clicking and dragging your mouse inside each image you can interact with the visualization in a three-dimensional sense.  Below each image you can see a similar visualization for each animated in time by clicking on the word Animation.  For the latter, the files range in size from 1 to 2 MB.  Depending on the available bandwidth, that download may take some time.  If you are having problems viewing or interacting with these images, make sure your browser has Javascript enabled.

If the forecast information presented on this page does not seem to be current and you have visited this site recently, the results of the previous visit may have been saved in your web browser's cache. If so, you should change your cache settings (e.g., File->Preferences->Advanced->Cache in Netscape and set the document comparison to "Every time"). When you restart your browser, the problem should be solved. For your current session, you should manually clear the cache and reload the page.
